BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention:

This invention relates to novel 3-acylamino-3-deoxyallose derivatives, and, more particularly, to 3-acylamino-3-deoxyallose derivatives which are useful as a medicine.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND

Allose is a sugar which occurs very sparingly in nature. The only known usage of allose is as an intermediate for synthesizing other sugars. Also, only 3-acetylamino derivatives and 3-trifluoroacetylamino derivatives are known in the art as derivatives of 3-acylamino-3-deoxyallose derivatives. These are the derivatives of allose, the third positions of which are substituted with an acylamino group. However, no knowledge has yet surfaced concerining the medicinal effect of these derivatives.

The present inventors have synthesized various derivatives of 3-acylamino-3-deoxyallose and conducted extensive research into their physiological activities. As a result the inventors found that 3-acylamino-3-deoxyallose derivatives represented by the following general formula (I) exhibit excellent carcinostatic activity: ##STR2## wherein R¹ and R² are hydrogen atoms or represent in combination an isopropylidene group, R³ and R⁴ are hydrogen, atoms or represent in combination an isopropylidene group, R⁵ represents a hydrogen atom or alkyl group, and R⁶ represents a hydrogen atom or acyl group. This finding has led to the completion of the invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide 3-acylamino-3-deoxyallose derivatives represented by the above general formula (I).

Other objects, features, and advantages of this invention will appear more fully from the following description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Compound (I) of this invention can be prepared, for example, by any of the following processes.

Process I

3-Amino-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (II) is reacted with a carboxylic acid (III) or its active derivative to produce as a condensation product 3-acylamino-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (Ia) according to the following reaction formula: ##STR3## in which R⁵ and R⁶ have the same meanings as defined above.

The target compound (Ia) may be produced by reacting 1-1.2 mols of compound (II) with 1 mol of compound (III) in the presence of a solvent and dehydrating agent, at any temperature in the range from room temperature to the refluxing temperature of the solvent for 1-10 hours. A desirable example of the dehydrating agent is N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and a hydrocarbon, ether, or the like is used as a solvent. Especially preferable solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons. Upon completion of the reaction, compound (Ia) is collected by distilling off the solvent and subjecting the residue to silica gel column chromatography or the like purification means.

Process II

3-Acylamino-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (Ia) is hydrolyzed with an acid at a temperature ranging from 0° C. to room temperature to give 3-acylamino-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (Ib) according to the following reaction formula: ##STR4## in which R⁵ and R⁶ have the same meanings as defined above.

The reaction may be carried out by dissolving compound (Ia) in a solvent such as methanol or the like, and in the presence of a small amount of an acid at a temperature of 0° C.--room temperature for a period of 1-10 hours. Desirable as an acid is a mineral acid, hydrochloric acid in particular. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is neutralized with sodium bicarbonate or the like and then condensed, followed by purification by silica gel column chromatography or the like to obtain compound (Ib).

Process III

3-Acylamino-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (Ia) is hydrolyzed with an acid at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 80° C. to give 3-acylamino-3-deoxy-D-allofuranose (Ic) according to the following reaction formula: ##STR5## in which R⁵ and R⁶ have the same meanings as defined above.

This reaction may be carried out by treating compound (Ia) with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 80° C. for 2-10 hours. The target compound deposits as crystals by ice-cooling the reaction mixture.

Compound (Ic) obtained by the hydrolysis of compound (Ia) is of the allofuranose type. This compound is, however, in equilibrium with an allopyranose-type compound of the following formula (Ic'), and is usually represented by this allopyranose type (Ic'): ##STR6## in which R⁵ and R⁶ has the same meanings as defined above.

Effect of the Invention

The carcinostatic effects of the compound of this invention prepared as described above have been tested, the results of which are hereafter discussed.

Groups of ICR mice, consisting of 8 mice each, were provided for the test. Ehrlich's tumor cells in the amount of 1×10⁵ were inoculated intraperitoneally into each mouse. The test compound of a prescribed concentration, suspended in physiological saline water containing 2% dimethylsulfoxide--0.02% Tween 80, was intraperitoneally administered once each day, starting from the day following the inoculation and for 10 days thereafter. The carcinostatic effects (%) following the 45th day of innoculation were calculated from the average survival days of the mice by applying the following formula: ##EQU1## wherein T represents the average survival days of the treated groups and C represents those of the control group.

The results are shown in Table 1.

EXAMPLES Example 1

3-Tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoic acid, 10.0 gm, was dissolved in benzene. To the solution was added 4.99 gm of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and the mixture was warmed at 50° C. for 30 minutes. Then, 6.28 gm of 3-amino-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (II) was added, followed by refluxing for 5 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was ice-cooled to separate the deposited crystals by filtration. The filtrate thus obtained was condensed, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using toluene as an eluent to give 12.1 gm of 3-deoxy-3-(3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoylamino)-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (Compound No. 9) at a yield of 79.0%.

3-Deoxy-3-(3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoylamino)-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (Compound No. 9), 12.1 gm, was dissolved in 200 ml of methanol, to which 5 ml of hydrochloric acid diluted with methanol to 10 fold by volume was added dropwise while stirring. The stirring was continued for 6 hours. Subsequently, the mixture was neutralized with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and condensed. The residue was then purified by column chromatography using toluene as an eluent to given 6.8 gm of 3-deoxy-3-(3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoylamino)-1,2-O-isopropylidene-.alpha.-D-allofuranose (Compound No. 25) at a yield of 59.6%.
